arishaHow weird that the year I wasn't really feeling the Christmas spirit turned out to be the year where I got some of the bestest presents evarrr! I mean, case in point, I am typing this in the living room on my brand new laptop, something I didn't even ask for omg. The only time previous when I had a computer of my own, it was running Windows 3.1, and while I do feel nostalgic for that operating system every so often, it is very nice to have a computer of my own on which it is possible to watch YouTube videos. xD I am super looking forward to making it all pretty. haha, I feel like my getting a laptop is good news for my Internet social life, but horrible news for the rest of my life! haha oh well, we'll see. I still have to figure out this Windows 7 business, I was not expecting it to be so different from Windows XP. I was going to put an emoticon at the end of that sentence but I feel that "XP" fills that role quite nicely.
Other amazingsauce presents:
· The Disneyland Encyclopedia. Did you know that every twenty minutes, a cell phone is turned into Disneyland's Lost and Found? NOW YOU DO.
· Orientalism (shut up, I'm a Pacific and Asian Studies major, it's a NECESSITY), The Ancient World in the Cinema, and Ancient Greece in Film and Popular Culture. The last book features a screencap from one of the Bill and Ted movies and also lists "slash fiction" in its glossary. Needless to say, I am very excited to read it.
· The penultimate season of Reba, the ultimate season of Full House, and Animal Crossing: Wild World in which I am pretty desperate to change my character's hairstyle. D:
· A TAMAGOTCHI
AND A KIT WITH WHICH TO "BLING YOUR TAMAGOTCHI"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MY MOTHER KNOWS ME WAY TOO WELL
I didn't even realize they still made these things! I am waiting till my next day off to start it up; as I recall, tamagotchis can be quite demanding little creatures.
· A Disney princess lanyard. If only I had keys for which I needed a lanyard! Sad to say, my house key is already Disney princess-themed. It makes me happy every time I have to lock the door. xD
· A Hannah Montana-themed PSP, omg. This is from one of my co-workers, and I was totally not expecting it. I'm excited to have a PSP because it means I can get another Katamari Damacy game! xD
· And a bunch of other ridiculous things to fit my ridiculous personality. xD
And I feel like I've said this about a million times already, but I have also been LOVING the fandom card exchange I took part in. You guys are amazing and I'm glad to have been able to share a little bit of the holidays with you. <3 :D
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean off my desk so I actually have somewhere to put all this stuff when I leave for work in two hours. :P
